XR520H Quick Installation Guide
XR520H Quick Installation Guide
The XR520H Hardened Wireless Access Point provides Xirrus
wireless technology in a hardened case for installation outdoors and
in other harsh environments. This guide describes how to install the
XR520H on a pole or wall and execute the initial power up of the
Access Point. The pole or wall can be a structure that is installed at
ground level or on a roof. The XR520H is not compatible with other
Xirrus mounting options. For additional information, see the
Wireless
Array User’s Guide
.
This document is intended ONLY for XR520H model Access Points. For other XR
models please see the Quick Installation Guide for that model series.
1) You Need the Following Items
Accessory Kit (included in each Wireless Access Point carton) includes:
o
Mounting bracket and mounting screw
o
Grounding cable and short ground wire
o
Watertight RJ connector assembly
Appropriate tools, bands, screws, and/or anchors required for the desired mounting location
(not provided with the Access Point).
Workstation with a Web browser to configure the Wireless Access Point.
RJ-45 Ethernet connection(s) to your wired network.
Power—XR520H Access Points are powered via Power over Gigabit Ethernet (PoGE) using
an outdoor-rated Ethernet Cat 5e or Cat 6 cable that also carries data traffic. Only Xirrus-
supplied power injectors, or 802.3af or 802.3at PoE-compliant switches, may be used to
power the XR520H . The XR520H is powered by one injector port rated at 20W or higher.
The Xirrus PoGE Power Injector requires an AC outlet. See the
PoGE Installation Guide
for
more information.
NOTE: Xirrus PoGE Injectors must be installed and used indoors.
2) Choose a Suitable Location
The XR520H is tested to IP65 water proof and dust proof requirements to protect against
severely wet and dusty environments. For optimal placement, we recommend that a predictive
survey be performed by a qualified Xirrus partner.
Choose a location that is not subjected to submersion.
Direct sunlight may raise the effective ambient temperature many degrees above the air
temperature. It is best to choose a location that has some level of protection from the sun.
